Job Details

Are you a strong character ready to bring your sales skills to a leading UK Fertiliser trader, or do you have a practical farming background and enjoy building relationships?

We are seeking an experienced salesperson to join a growing sales operation. As part of expansion plans, this UK leading fertiliser business is hiring a new Sales Representative to support an existing team in the North of the UK.

You will cover the whole of the North, covering the territory of Northumberland, North Yorkshire, Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. Local contacts and knowledge are advantageous. The most important part of this role is bringing in new customers and building a sales ledger, making appointments and striking deals. You will be comfortable getting onto farm and talking fertiliser with farmers.

Remuneration: Competitive salary package + Bonus structure, Company Car + Fuel Card. Great opportunity for career progression.

With the team spread across multiple sites in the country, you will work independently, report directly to the Director, and collaborate with colleagues in other regions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Area Sales: Take responsibility for the North of England area where you will be calling on farms to offer sound technical advice to businesses, farmers and fertiliser customers whilst also being responsible for building your own sales ledger.

• Brand Promotion: Represent and promote all aspects of the company during customer interactions, highlighting our commitment to quality and service.

• Customer Management: Develop strong relationships with new customers, ensuring customer satisfaction and retention. Undertake regular farm visits to achieve business growth requirements

• Personal Development: An ever-learning mindset and desire to grow personally and professionally under the mentorship of the Managing Director.

What We are Looking For:

• Dynamic & Self-Motivated: A go-getter who thrives in a competitive environment. This role requires the ability to go out and find new business.

• Organised: Strong time management skills to handle customer accounts and sales strategies effectively.

• Sales Experience: While experience in sales would be an advantage, it’s not essential. What is more important is an eagerness to go out and sell, as the role requires someone proactive in finding new business.

• Excellent Communication: Ability to engage with customers and convey the benefits of our products clearly.

• Agricultural Experience: While not essential, previous agricultural experience will be advantageous. The right attitude, however, is more important.
